Yeah let’s all be happy clappers and think everyone of our players are world beaters who’ll piss the league this season.
I'm not saying that Bong is a world beater I'm only referring to your comment stating that the team will be better off playing with 10 men which of course is not the case. It's just a stupid comment that's all.
Bong did ok at times. With some decent forward play. Even setting up a goal once or twice (?) (and those were in short supply...last time out) for Grabban was it?
Did give away a stupid penalty wrestling somebody to the ground. (Should know better with his experience.)
Starting to show his age defending. But to be fair. That Watford winger would probably have given Pearce a hard time.
He could still do 'a job' if we're caught short for a fullback but he's on borrowed time. It's a position that isn't just defending anymore. It has a broader mandate of getting up and down to support the attack (in Hughton's system?) and in general. And you have to have young legs for that. For example. I can't run faster now than when I was younger. I'd expect that applies to fullback footballers.
Where's Jim Brennan when you need him?
Under Murphy, I'd expect younger and more energetic players to come in. And experienced players to be in their 'mid twenties-ish.'
